Cherry Tree en route to the final, Clitheroe’s hopes were high of a victory against Great Harwood. Tile match was played at


Chatburn Road, with Ciith­ croe batting first. Unfortuna­ tely, the home side’s batting order failed to impress and endured a mini-collapse to stand on 8!) all out. In reply, Great Harwood


started well, before also los­ ing a number of quick wickets. However, their bat­ ting line-up proved a bit more resilient and they readied the required target for the loss of six wickets. Having reached the final of


the competition in 1990 and the semi-finals bust year, the side were disappointed not to lift the title again.
